🧐If you, like me, use Twitter as your main information stream, then you should check out the latest remarks from X core member Nikita:

Nikita Bier is one of the key figures in product and growth at X, and in this tweet, he discussed three things:

1️⃣ X = One of the most important financial information sources in the world:

Hundreds of billions of dollars in funding decisions are being made based on information from X.

2️⃣ X is developing a new feature: Smart Cashtags

1) Not just "strings" like $BTC, $AAPL, but precisely linked to a specific asset/stock/token/smart contract.

2) When clicked, you can see: real-time price, all discussions about that asset on X.

3) Future possibilities: trading, copy trading, sentiment analysis.

3️⃣ The feature will soon enter public testing (next month), and feedback is currently being collected.

What makes this tweet truly noteworthy is not the feature itself, nor the UI, but the very clear strategic shift of X:

X is upgrading the "information stream" into a "financial operation entry point," and you could say that X is building the "world's largest real-time financial sentiment market."

You can understand what X aims to do like this:

Bloomberg: professional, but slow, expensive, and closed.

TradingView: good prices, but lacks social native sentiment.

Telegram / Discord: sentiment exists, but is unindexed and unstructured.

X's ambition is to synthesize "human real-time judgment + market price" into one system.

Smart Cashtags are the most basic building block.

Implications for Crypto / Investors (Key Points)

1️⃣ X is becoming a "unified entry point for on-chain + off-chain finance."

Especially for Crypto:

Token

Contract address

Chain

Layer / App

Once Cashtags support smart contract levels (which he has already stated):

X ≈ The "default information + decision layer" of the Web3 world.

2️⃣ The "influence" of KOLs will be repriced.

The future will not be about: who shouts the loudest or retweets the most.

Instead, it will be about: whose content is long-term validated under a specific asset Cashtag.

This means:

Content = Traceable investment history.

Opinions = Quantifiable signals.

3️⃣ Meme / sentiment coins will become more extreme, while mainstream assets will become more concentrated.

Smart Cashtags will lead to one result:

Mainstream assets → Information becomes more concentrated, consensus forms faster.

Junk assets → Quickly identified and rapidly cleared.

Meme → Sentiment fluctuations become more intense, but the lifecycle is shorter.

Volatility does not disappear; it is amplified and compressed.

In summary—

When price + sentiment + discussion converge in the same place,

X is no longer just an information stream, but a financial layer.

Information, price, and consensus will happen in the same place.
